FAQs

Question

Where is the wedding?

Answer

The wedding will take place on Feb 7th, at Old Mac Daddy located at Elgin Valley Rd Elgin, 7160, South Africa. It’s about an hour’s drive from Cape Town. https://goo.gl/maps/X1nhXrFsoxt

Question

Why South Africa?

Answer

Well the groom is from South Africa and as quite a sought after, exotic and beautiful destination, as well as many drunken promises made to far-flung-friends we thought Cape Town would be the perfect place to get hitched. (And it’s sort of half way between Moscow and New York).

Question

Where can we stay?

Answer

You can find a list of hotels, places to eat, stay and things to do on our website - in the travel and things-to-do sections. It's a pretty quaint area, and some recommended hotels and guesthouses in the area are Southhill Guesthouse, HouwHoek Inn, Elgin Valley Guest, Tri Active Lodge, Elgin Guesthouse, Elgin Valley Inn and Grabouw Lodge

Question

How should I dress?

Answer

Our wedding is a dress up party. Trailer Park Chic is the dress code, it’s bright colours and bit showy, somewhat 70s (not bellbottoms and big lapels, but hopefully you get the inference)… and if you’re struggling for ideas, take some inspiration at https://www.pinterest.com/richardshaer/the-dress-code/

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

Sure, we have somewhat limited space but we’ll do our best to accommodate… and of course if you’re coming from abroad it goes without saying. Let us know if you need a nanny…. The venue is able to help with this

Question

What type of food will be served?
